Synopsis

"You're holding in your hands an epic story of vision, courage, determination, persistence, and grand success in the public interest. The East Bay Regional Park District is now a local and national treasure of monumental proportions."---Doug McConnell, host of "Open Road, Exploring the West" on KQED and national public television and coauthor of bestselling travel books

"No urban area in America has better protected its open space, lakes, and bayshore access than the East Bay Regional Park District. This book serves as a blueprint on how to protect open space and then convert it to parklands to be used forever for recreation and wildlife habitat."---Tom Stienstra, outdoor writer and guidebook author

"This history is essential reading for anyone interested in the story of how the East Bay shoreline was acquired for public access, use, and enjoyment."---Sylvia McLaughlin, cofounder of Save the Bay

"The [East Bay Regional Park District]...pulled off a stunning expansion of parklands in the densely populated East Bay. As this book explains, such growth will never again be possible."---from the Foreword by U.S. Representative George Miller
